I missed a couple logs. Some days are difficult and sometimes I don't eat much for one reason or another but I'm doing ok with my weight loss. I've lost 5 lbs since we started the blog. Next week I'll shop and try to eat healthier. Still doing good on weight exercises and water.

This morning I had 2 cups of coffee,  2 criss cut fries, 3 mini,faux corn dogs, 1 scrambled egg with cheese.

Around 4 I had pasta and sauce with cheese.

I know! No fruit or veggies. I need to buy groceries but I'm proud of myself for not giving into any of the multitude of sweets and junk food laying around this house!

Kate's non log

Okay, so its not a log, but it is a good update.  I got my laptop and soon my phone will be fixed, so either way I'll be able to start logging my food again.


I'm drinking a peppermint mocha from Starbucks right now.  Im just enjoying it rather than beating myself up over it.  Its delicious and Im using their WiFi so I feel like I had to buy something anyway.

Expect an update soon!

Difficult weekend to post but I did pretty good. I'm also drinking a lot of water and I've been doing weight exercises every other day.

Today I had a blueberry pancake with boysenberry syrup.

Lunch, a small bowl of goulash which I made with home grown tomatillos and tomatoes! I also had an orange.

Dinner, 2 tacos with goulash and cheese filling.

Kate's big weekly update plus a weigh in.

I'll get right to it.

I weighed in at 244.6 which is exactly 12 down from when I started.

I am disappointed because I weighed in at about 243 before Thanksgiving and also because I lost about 11 lbs. In the first week and a half and haven't seen any change since then.

I have been drinking ONLY water (with the exception of juice yesterday) and a lot of it, so the weight isn't water I'm losing. That's good.

Since I lost the ability to post pictures I have definitely caught myself taking bites of things and eating out of the fridge. I am giving myself until the 10th to get under 240. That's totally reasonable. I should be getting my pedometer in the mail today or Monday, so that will help me a lot.

I know its not realistic to see a change on the scale every day, but..well, that's exactly what I want! I feel like I lose motivation when I see the same number the next day.

I can't wait to get my laptop so I can really start blogging again. I know its important this early in the process for me.

My plan for this week is to only eat meals, not snack out of bags and the fridge (still trying to get out of the habit!). To lose at least 3 lbs. To move more.

Hopefully next week I can report back with good news!

Kate's non-log 11/25/2011

Still working on getting my phone working so I can get back to taking pictures and updating everyday.

The good news is that I ordered a laptop today, which should arrive within 3-5 days. No longer will I have to struggle with my tiny phone keyboard to post updates!

I ate left over stuffing today. I shouldn't have. It was emotional eating for sure. I'm sick and just want to get out of my house, but am unable to right now. Will be nice to have my babysitter (a great grandma) back on Monday. Hopefully will be able get out for a walk or just a ride!

Thanksgiving log

We spent the day together. Kate did almost all the cooking and it was so good! Smoked salmon in country gravy, awesome! We both had a small plate.

We both had a sliver of pecan and blackberry pie, so yummy!

Kate had much more restraint than I did on the other goodies. I ate at least 6 of the faux bacon wrapped albacore,a handful of chips a little dip and too much cheese! Oh and 4 deviled eggs!

We had such a calm wonderful day. It might be the best Thanksgiving I've ever had. I'm thankful that I have people in my life who love me unconditionally.
